Most of googles evangelization of tech and AI is a marketing and adoption strategy for google compute engine. Which is fine, but it should be seen for what it is


Disclaimer: I am personally benefiting from a long-term Google educational programme.

My response to this is: so what? Of course they're going to encourage new developers to use their products - it's only natural they'd teach their own stuff and not AWS/Azure. Developers aren't really influencers (sadly) in the purchasing for cloud infra so I'm not sure that it's a straight up marketing campaign.


Google was publishing very important distributed computing papers and other research even when they didn’t have cloud offering in mind.

It’t a great hiring strategy, as many researchers prefer to work at a company where they can get recognition from publishing academic papers.
